FAGE ... the best texture and flavor

My surgery is scheduled for May 6th with Dr. Lopez in Mexico. My BMI is 34.4 and I want to lose about 75 pounds. I'm at 200 right now, but I know I could never get rid of the weight on my own. In the past, I have been able to drop20-25 pounds, but I always put it back on and then gain 10-15 more. I just want to live life and stop worrying about losing weight.

My metabolism was screwed up a long time ago from all of the fad diets my MOM put me on growing up: just eat pop corn and diet coke for a week, just eat stewed tomatoes and green Beans, etc.

I have a very demanding carrer too. I fly every week to my client site and live out of a hotel from M-F. I have dinner events I had to attend while on the full liquid stage. I managed. You can too. I know if I hadn't done this surgery I would have gained 10 lbs instead of losing 20.

Their reaction is clearly the reason why you didn't tell them! Don't let anyone stand in your way, I'd be saying I'm an adult I've done my research and I've made my decision . I'd like your support , however if u don't like my des ion then respectfully I'd ask u to keep your opinions to yourself.
And seriously how's ur husbands form .... Ringing your parents behind your back.... Sounds like a bit of sabotage to me. Im not trying to be nasty n I'm sure your husband loves you, but if my husband did that to me, I would go off my head!
I didn't have surgery in Mexico but many others on this site have and have survived.
Good luck with your dilemma , follow your heart, do what u want to do, not what others want you too, it's your body n your life after all

I think I'd go anyway. They mean well but they cannot make choices for you. You made your choice. Stick with it. They'll get over it by the time you get home. Go girl!

There is nothing wrong with not wanting children if that is your choice, I think it's admirable. Every woman wasn't meant to have children. Whatever your choice, I'm sure it will be an informed decision.

I thought this was a bit humurous and thought we all could relate.

Fennel is a carminative herb that helps alleviate gas after a spicy meal.

I went solo and actually preferred it. You need the time to rest and recover after the surgery. And, the last thing you want afterwards is someone near you eating a meal. The smell would make you gag.
It seems that for the folks who have someone with them, they're out shopping and running around. Which while you might think you're ready for that - you're not! One of the docs at a followup appointment for me highly discourages people from going shopping, etc. But, your friend/family/etc will want something to do!
If I wasn't back at the dr. office for a followup I spend most of my time in my room resting, reading, watching tv or pacing around my room. My friends would have been bored stiff.

Whops, I did 80 today was only supposed to do 75. Oh, well, I think I will do 90 tomorrow and then do my day of rest and jump 100.

60 done, next month I want to do ab challenge and maintain a certain number of squats. Well I say that now.

Same here, yes I think is fairly accurate
